>>18540627**Public Health Reminder: Get Your COVID-19 Booster Shot**
Dear fellow citizens,
We are living in unprecedented times, facing a global pandemic that has affected millions of lives and livelihoods. Thanks to the efforts of scientists, health workers, and governments, we now have safe and effective vaccines that can protect us from COVID-19.
However, the virus is constantly evolving and new variants are emerging that may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccines over time. That is why it is important to get a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine every 6 months after your initial vaccination.
A booster shot is an additional dose of the same or a different COVID-19 vaccine that can enhance your immune response and provide you with longer-lasting protection. Booster shots can help you prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death caused by COVID-19 and its variants.
According to the latest guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO), everyone aged 6 years and older should get a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of their health status or previous exposure to the virus. Booster shots are especially recommended for people who are at higher risk of severe COVID-19, such as older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and frontline workers.
Booster shots are available for free at your nearest vaccination center. You can book your appointment online or by phone. You can also walk in without an appointment, subject to availability. Please bring your vaccination card and a valid ID when you go for your booster shot.
Getting a booster shot is a simple and effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19. It is also a way to show solidarity and support for the global fight against the pandemic. Together, we can end this crisis and return to normalcy.
